YOO ESS AY!!! YOO ESS AY!!!

O’Reilly is trashing those commie drug-lovers in Yurp again. One of his Dutch viewers hits him with, you know, reality:

It’s amazing how quickly right-wing arguments lose validity the minute you start looking at actual facts. If only our media would do the same.


UPDATE: Looking at my bestest friend NationMaster, I also see that the United States has more prisoners per capita than Russia. Yes, Russia. The country that has made imprisoning people a point of national pride for centuries.

Yes, it’s anarchy! Why them damned Dutchmen don’t even have the good sense to blow each other’s brains out with their Second Amendment enforcers!

 
 

Ah, Amsterdam. Sitting in a brown cafe with an Oude Jenever and a Heineken… Sipping a coffee at a sidewalk cafe in Nieuwmarkt Square… El Ranchos steakhouse on Spuistrasse… The Horror, The Horror!

Not that I’m arguing we don’t imprison too many people for worthless things, but according to that link…

Zimbabwe: 0 per 100,000 people

Rrrrrrrrrrrright.

 
 

I also see that the United States has more prisoners per capita than Russia

Oh, WELL, you see, WE put people in prison who actually BELONG there, being all criminal and dusky and poor and all that, unlike every other country who puts them there ’cause they had Bibles and harruph harrumph blurp blurp blurp.

 
 

Population:
China: 1,330,044,544
United States: 304,059,724

Overall number of prisoners (not per capita):
United States: 2,019,234 prisoners
China: 1,549,000 prisoners

Sucks to be us…

YOO ESS AY!!! … Ugh, can do without reminders of how Dick Cheney welcomed spoke of the OLC.

Back on topic, whilst I’m all for shining reality on wingnut memes, sometimes it’s pretty difficult to know where to start.

 
 

Zimbabwe: 0 per 100,000 people

Eh, no data and their software’s including it. The real story here is that had the Netherlands imprisoned 603 more people per 100,000 it would be as swell as America is.

Isn’t that what the Tea Parties and the Hannity Freedom Concerts are all about? I forget.

 
 

As for Krugman,

Bill O’Reilly explaining that of course America has lower life expectancy than Canada — we have 10 times as many people, so we have 10 times as many deaths.

I need a drink.

Paul Krugman explaining that of course Hillary Clinton’s gas tax holiday idea isn’t that dumb — it’s the media reporting the lousy plan that’s the dumb thing, because shut up that’s why.

I, too, needed a drink.

 
 

Bill O’Reilly explaining that of course America has lower life expectancy than Canada — we have 10 times as many people, so we have 10 times as many deaths.

Bill is of the “common sense is what tells you the Earth is flat” school.

 
 

The response to this, as to all statistical comparisons unfavorable to the US, will be “Yeah, but that’s because we have n*ggers and they don’t.”

Of course they mostly don’t say “n*ggers.” Homogeneous” is the usual code word.

Now it can be told…

The Horrors of Holland!

I’m currently reading this book by Russell Shorto, which is largely based on documents that have recently been translated. Hopefully, Adriaen van der Donck will come to be recognized as an individual who presaged the best features of the American national character, and it’s not just because I live in the city named after the Jonkheer.

 
 

Bill is of the “common sense is what tells you the Earth is flat” school.

And apparently dropped out of school in the third grade, ’cause that’s when I learned about fractions.

I have been to Amsterdam, and I can personally attest that Bill O’Reilly is an effing moron.

Good catch. China has a bad rap for treatment of journalists and other human rights violations (as well they should) but no one in the media raises much of a stink when we imprison hundreds of thousands of people for crimes that cause no injury (literal or metaphorical) to anyone else.

I thought these glibertarian types want less government intrusion. O’Reilly needs to turn in his Heinleinesque Moon-Colony Self-Governed Paradise Card.

 
 

Does anyone remember the “Americans United to Beat the Dutch” spoof in the old National Lampoon? It was a parody of baseless, over-the-top xenophobia (“God only knows what they cook in those ovens of theirs”). At the time, the only practical effect it had was ruining any chance of the magazine getting the Heineken account. Who knew that a generation later, leading news personalities would use that as their Bible?

 
 

Wow, check out Oh-Really’s chicks. If they spent as much time doing homework as they did bleaching and ironing their hair, just imagine how much smarter they’d be.

Almost as smart, maybe, as a stoned Hollander.

 
 

Only liberal communist faggot Muslims use this “per capita” bullshit. Each Netherlandian who dies from drugs is a million times more dead than an American who is punished by God for taking immoral substances.

A “Dutch treat” is NO TREAT AT ALL.

Let me play devil’s advocate here: does that China number include an estimate of the number of prisoners China won’t admit they have locked up? Because I wouldn’t be surprised if that were a pretty big number.

 
 

Does anyone remember the “Americans United to Beat the Dutch” spoof in the old National Lampoon?

Oh, MAN, if I could just find that and the thing they did about “Silt” on the Intertoobz. WHY DO PEOPLE NOT SCAN THE IMPORTANT STUFF?

Oh, and the old issue of “Cracked” Magazine where they did the parody of the Bakshi “Lord of The Rings” movie and one of the songs was to the tune of “Gentle on My Mind” and I crack up now every time I hear that song seemingly apropos of totally nothing like I do every time I hear “This Song’s For You” and think about the parody on the Kenney Everett Show where he played Elton John at the piano and his glasses got bigger and bigger until he fell over.

You just had to ask.

 
 

I always wondered if they named the vacuum after the president, because they couldn’t think of anything that sucked more.

The actual story, from Wikipedia, is actually fairly interesting:

Spangler then gave one of these Suction Sweepers to his cousin, Susan Hoover, who used it at her home. Impressed with the machine, she told her husband about it. W. H. “Boss” Hoover was a leather-goods manufacturer in North Canton, which at the time was called New Berlin. Hoover’s leather goods business was threatened by the introduction of the Motor Car. Seeing in the Suction Sweeper a marketing opportunity, Hoover bought the patent from Spangler in 1908 and retained Spangler as company Superintendent, on royalties in the new business. Spangler continued to contribute to the company, patenting several further Suction Sweeper designs, before his death in 1915. His family continued to receive royalties from his original patent until 1925.

I’m trying to figure out how the “introduction of the motor car” would threaten a leather goods business. Less saddle-making, maybe?

Full disclosure: I own a Eureka-brand “The Boss” vacuum cleaner. Possible copyright-infringement case for Hoover?

In case anyone needs a break from the snark, this is an excellent article about a very serious and horrifying subject (the Holocaust):

While reading the article, I thought: there were actual human beings planning and carrying out, in a very deliberate manner, the wholesale murder of millions of their fellow human beings, and that’s really hard to get your head around.

Commie Atheist, that link was excellent. This part in particular stood out:

What is crucial is that the ideology that legitimated mass death was also a vision of economic develop-ment. In a world of scarcity, particularly of food supplies, both regimes integrated mass murder with economic planning.

They did so in ways that seem appalling and obscene to us today, but which were sufficiently plausible to motivate large numbers of believers at the time. Food is no longer scarce, at least in the West; but other resources are, or will be soon. In the twenty-first century, we will face shortages of potable water, clean air, and affordable energy. Climate change may bring a renewed threat of hunger.

I think it’s the most important thing to take away from that article, not so much for its dire predictions of the status quo, but the predilections governments and regimes have toward sending human cost down the memory hole, which is still going on even now about events less than 100 years ago.

Lebensraum yesterday, Petrolraum today. No difference worth a damn. If you doubt this just ask an Iraqi or, if he’s in an honest humor, Alan Greenspan.

It’s always fun to mention how the Dutch, under William of Orange, invaded and conquered England. And that he was a notorious fag, to boot.

 
 

At least Prof. Bell graded on a curve.

melting those little plastic guys is tons of fun, I tell ya…

I was a child of the sixties, and military-themed toys were all the rage. GI Joe, toy machine guns, etc. We figured out how to make “napalm” out of a can of Lysol and a match, and used it to torch those plastic army men. At least until the mother of the kid who lived down the street, in whose basement we were conducting our “experiment”, caught us.

For all the complaining I’ve done about how the media has been restricted in Iraq (or self-censored, they amount to the same thing), there is something to be said for not having little kids watching it every night on the evening news, like we did.

Commie Atheist, I just read that article on the Holocaust you linked to. Thanks. Great stuff.

He doesn’t deal with this situation directly, but the sentiments expressed here explain why some Jewish people got so upset when nuns near Auschwitz wanted to put up a cross there. Yes, the Nazis persecuted many groups, and no, grief and commemoration are not zero-sum. But still, expropriating an atrocity so clearly aimed at a specific (other) group is, at best, in deplorable taste.

Holland, total anarchy? Wingnut, PLEASE … that place is old-school conservative as hell, & proud of it. Thing is, they’ve largely kept the galloping stoopid at bay, which allows them the leeway to do nifty stuff like licensing hookers & letting pot-cafes do their thing – because they still have enough brains to get 4 when they add 2+2.

I’m okay with Drug Prohibition – just as long as everyone’s required to refer to it as what it actually is: an Organized Crime Subsidy. Gee, it doesn’t sound quite so noble & virtuous anymore when you call the stench by its real name, does it?

It’s comforting to know that there’s an excellent chance that one day we’ll all be hearing about Bubba O’Reilly’s untimely demise from a drug overdose … it’s amazing (& most jocular indeed) just how many of these “Traditional American Fambly Values™” cobags are secretly passing out in the back of their limo with a half-empty rig hanging out of them – or scarfing pills like M&Ms. Rush “War On Drugs I Don’t Use” Limbaugh’s done so much dope he’s now deaf as a post from it, & it’s safe to assume he’s got plenty of company.

I was in Amsterdam in the mid-eighties as a young, impressionable teenager. I remember being frightened by the shop-window whores and the easy availability of hash. My friends and I managed to cross the border into Belgium with some hash, and shat ourselves as the border guards searched our train car. We made it through.

We smoked the hash in Paris, and vowed that we’d never again try anything so foolish. I haven’t been in touch with the others in 25 years, but I know that I’ve kept my end of the bargain. I’ve never again tried to smuggle drugs over international borders. And I’ve always wished that I’d had more fun in Amsterdam.

 
 

I know you all want Nasi Goring.

Nazi Goering? Do not want.

 
 

jim,
Having lived here for over 10 years, these; “…. Oh, the Netherlands, drugs, sex, what a deranged place…. ” commentary is sad to the point of redundancy. A safer, more civilized place I have yet to find. Thing that a lot of folk don’t realize is that the Netherlands is actulally quite conservative, particularly with respect to social and moral views. However, there is am attitude of; ‘… Do what the hell you want, but don’t bug anyone else…” that allows for the drug & sex thing that gets prudes all excited. Is either a concequnce of high population density or a reminant of the Calvinist past, I’m not sure.

One thing that does piss me off is the general opinion that Amsterdam is The Netherlands, particlarly that shitty area near Centraal Station. There is a little more to the country than that. It’s like going to Times Sq, & saying you’ve been to the states.

 
 

however, the safer tag doesn’t apply any time Feyenoord and Ajax play….

Oh, that was a masterful piece of work, that A.U.T.B.T.D. newsletter in the Lampoon.

Wanted to add–the bike traffic jam at Centraal Station is one of the most heartwarming things I ever saw, as a bicyclist. Loved the nightlife, loved the people, loved getting a chance to see a parallel universe in which the hippies won. Even when they lost…well, there’s a subway station that has a mural commemorating the civic struggle against the building of the subway station…

These posts where one has to, you know, watch something to remark upon them, are loss leaders. They look so up-to-date and all, but watching Doghouse O’Reilly, (or even just listening,) as opposed to reading transcriptions of his chin music, is unbearable.

This phenom first afflicted my bad self right around when George II ascended to orifice. I couldn’t listen to him speak for three consecutive meaning-units, or words, without going insane. Reagan I was too young to care. Bush Ist could be tuned out in the way one tuned out the school civics teacher talking about using both sides of the paper to save money and trees.

Then it was radio hosts. They were almost worse, except the fact they talked continuously at least made for something like white noise. Exactly like white noise, come to think of it. Then these guys started getting huge exposure on cable TV, and I stopped being able to watch that, too. Radio and television were no longer media I could endure.

So I learned how to read, and luckily by then the Intermap was around, so I could read transcriptions of what people said, if absolutely necessary. I could learn if the president had started a war, for example, or appointed a negro to his cabinet. Those were good times. I could know without witnessing. Places like Counterpunch, where the written word reigned supreme, were like big cuddly warm tribble-farms of hideously bad news. They didn’t even have pictures. I could absorb information and opinions entirely through the power of little marks that conveyed meaning when placed in sequence, in silence.

But here we are again: some genius decided the Web is the new television and the new radio, at the same fucking time as it’s the new newspaper — so there’s this rapidly expanding mixed-media format in which one has to read a possibly completely misleading headline (Huffington Post is master of this art, on the Left,) then watch a piece of merde media ranging from ten seconds to twenty minutes long, possibly with advertising bumpers at each end; then one reads the analysis of the clip. Then, if one still has the strength to drag the aching finger over the old scroll wheel, one reads the comments.

By that time, only death seems welcoming. Jesus, the video doesn’t even look good. It’s like watching time lapse footage of people assemble coasters out of Lego bricks. And the sound — fuck you, I’m not buying new speakers. I like the rich, detailed midrange unaccompanied by the slightest bass or treble, except a kind of distant, high-pitched shrilling sound on the right-hand side if I set the volume above 3 decibels.

I’m not saying such outlets as Sadly, Not should eschew media clips altogether. That would be jejeune, if not “so 1990s.” I’m just saying, I got all into reading especially for the Interactive Tubes, and now I’m just watching again, just exactly like a dribbling, mouth-breathing twat.

O’Reilly is a fraud, also.

I’m all out of italic HTML tags, so I guess I’ll lie down now.

All I’m saying is, if I can watch Gilligan’s Island on TV, the Internet, and all other media, am I really — hang, on, what’s that noise? Must be the cat. Wait a minute… I don’t have a cat. I’ll just go check… Jesus, it’s a man. What’s he — he’s clawing at the sliding door out onto the patio. He’s — oh, my god, his face — covered in blood, his lips torn away, exposing red teeth, and he’s — is the door locked? There’s someone at the window. Christ, another one. They’re mindless, like… god, like zombies.

Check the doors and windows, keeping out of sight. Fugitive in my own home. Weapon. Kitchen knife? Broom handle? Can they really be killed by destroying the brain? There’s another one there in the back yard. Two more. The street, as well, probably half a dozen. The move so slowly, but its like they know I’m here.

Get back in your house! She doesn’t realize. She’s shouting at one of them. Oh no. It’s going for her. They’re faster when they see prey. And will that sliding door hold them back for long? I can’t just stand here watching the neighbor across the street run around. I’m next. If I can get up on the roof, maybe I can climb down off the carport and get into the truck. Only be out in the open a few seconds. But space is tight. If there’s one by the trash cans, I’ll be trapped.

Did I roll up the windows? Fuck, there could be one in the truck by now. Don’t panic. Don’t look across the street. The screaming has stopped. I’ll take the baseball bat from Billy’s old room… Is this happening everywhere? My kid could be in danger, and he’s 30 miles away. His mother’s an idiot. She won’t know what to do. I have to get to them. Wish me luck. Oh God, wish me luck.

OR

Obama appears naive – but I believe he’s a calculating, cold, angry radical, doing what he’s been taught and to believe in. His bait & switch during the campaigning was ingenious; to the fall of the American republic as we’ve known it. He is a very dangerous person.

Ten months huh? The American people feel differently.

 
 

If the Dow (or whatever metric I choose to cherry-pick) worsens, it’s Obama’s fault; if it impoves, it’s in spite of what he’s done, or it hasn’t improved as much as he promised it would, or it would have improved on its own, anyway.

 
 

Remember when the Dow was the most important indicator? Now it’s not.

Oops, another typo. What I meant to say was, Newsweek consistently gives the GOP long, slow handjobs.

 
 

why does Sadly No no longer talk about Zombie Sheep?

Because I went off script and posted the “shorn” comment too quickly.

Could have been worse, I was thinking about “It had to be ewe, edible ewe”

 
 

I quite like the ‘Keep the Change’ nick, tho. Pretty clever for a wingnut. And I’m sureTruthy will be sticking to the spirit of it, proudly rejecting any and all work or benefits that may come his way until he has triple-checked that they have not been touched by the filthy socialist hand of Porkulus. Just like Bobby Jindal.

 
Keep the Change
 

Try running on that in 2012, actor The American people won’t buy the spin, just like they’re not buying it now.

Get ready for 1980 all over again.

 
 

Also, it’s the only time a wingnut ever gets to say ‘keep the change’, as tipping merely encourages moochers who don’t realise that A is A.

No problem. They forgot Bush killed 3000 Americans in 2004, they’ll forget about jobs that were lost then found and built upon in three years easy.

Poor Troofie. All hat, no brainpan.

Hell, you’re so stoopid, even ZOMBIES avoid you!

 
 

Get ready for 1980 all over again.

Yowza! Spandex and New Wave rock!

 
 

“Yowza! Spandex and New Wave rock!”

Don’t forget leg warmers and Big Hair.

 
 

I always felt Las Vegas was a far worse than Amsterdam. They should compare THOSE two cities.

It’s already happening – kids at the college campus where I work are looking all eighties these days.

Luckily, they don’t seem to be as politically stupid as people were before the Thirty Year Firehose of Republican Bullshit™ was turned on us.

 
 

Annnnnddd kill! Kill! Kill!

Ahhhhh…now, where were we?

 
 

Heh! Funny how eight years of “them polls don’t mean nuthin’ ’cause Real Leaders make the Hard Choices” has transformed into “This one Republican pollster invented a new kind of poll that ignores the political middle and that PROVES yer all DOOOOOMED”

Better trolls, please.

 
 

DKW –

did you ever post about Sarah Palin for Mr. Newsweek Wingnut to respond to?

Flashdance didn’t come out until 1983. We had several tasty years of ’80s before leg warmers.

I did. But I was probably too late. Last thing Still Free did was describe the Lisa Bonet Angel Heart scene and then vanish. I iz a sad troll and will have to wait for another Patriot to come by.

 
 

Hell, you’re so stoopid, even ZOMBIES avoid you!

So after the zombie apocalypse it’ll be just zombies and the staff from PJTV?

Grim.

…Zombie Sheep?

BAAAAA-RAINS.

Actually, wouldn’t they be vegetarians? GRRRRAAAIINNNSSSS!

That’s too bad. On the other hand, you’re neither imprisoned nor tortured, so you’re way ahead of your own nauseating game.

Remember when the Dow was the most important indicator? Now it’s not.

I mentioned this earlier, but you guys are stuck way back in May – the new message is the strong market performance is an indicator of how much people hate Barack.

Just wanted to peek in to say a hearty “thank you” to you all for having created one of the funniest damn threads I’ve read this month of Sundays. As you were…

You forgot the laurel.

Oh that’s clever. Reminds me of a cartoon where I think it was Chimp throwing darts at a wall and he had his spokesgoons drawing bulls-eyes around where the darts had hit.

Well, now that we can unfurl the “Comedy Accomplished” banner, I got a weird thing I want to point out.

Troll-fie was all delighted and happy that Obama’s approval number have slipped down to roughly the same percentage that voted for him in November (~53%). Here’s the shocker – I agree with him. I’m glad Obama’s approval is off the 2:1 ratio it was five months ago.

This is a good place – where his numbers aren’t so good that he can get away with unilateral bullying and the media is too cowed to criticize. Wait, scratch that second point. Media criticism of Obama tends to be birther/mom jeans BS that they stupidly worship. Also scratch the first point since Obama’s numbers are miles and away better than anyone else.

Still, central to my point, etc. I am generally in favour of elected leaders being constantly reminded that re-election is not guaranteed.

 
 

Some of us were already registered at Newsweek. Because it was necessary to suggest that Obama should appoint John Bolton as the U.S. representative at the U.N.

Has limited success
That’s De Mornay

 
 

So after the zombie apocalypse it’ll be just zombies and the staff from PJTV?

Not if I manage to find a Venture Capitalist to fund research on the Wingnut Processor.

Note to Sadlynaughts: there will be sponsorship opportunities.

 
 

When your blouses and stoles
Are all etched full of holes
That’s devore

 
 

“Yowza! Spandex and New Wave rock!”

Don’t forget leg warmers and Big Hair.

And Lydia Cornell.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm…

 
 

Can you say scrapie?

I can even use it in a sentence!

These zombie sheep jokes scrapie the bottom of the barrell. ie.

 
 

Just wanted to peek in

*grabbing towel*

KNOCK FIRST, DAMMIT!

*blushing*

 
 

“And Lydia Cornell.”

…and skinny ties and shoulderpads (or was that the ’90s?)

aaaaand:

When a wingnut flings turds
And misspells half his words,
That’s a moran

 
 

…and skinny ties and shoulderpads (or was that the ’90s?)

80s, along with cheap sidewinders and a bright orange pair of pants.

 
 

Zombie Sheep?

Or better.

 
Not Looch who is never to return

But have his witches been cast out?

 
 

Won’t somebody think of the snap bracelets!?

 
 

UPDATE: Looking at my bestest friend NationMaster, I also see that the United States has more prisoners per capita than Russia. Yes, Russia. The country that has made imprisoning people a point of national pride for centuries.

How powerful is the privatized prison industry lobby? They can’t profit without “clients”!

All right! Only two more months till the Delta 5 gig! I can’t wait.

 
 

No, no, no–its Spandex and big hair. And it’s leg warmers and new wave (though I’m old enough that to me “new wave” means skinny ties and re-used Vox Continentals and “ironic” throwback 1965–not the synthy leg-warmer stuff).

In any event, maybe we can finally have the ’80s we were supposed to have before What Xecky Said on the one hand and Stoopid Punk Rock on the other–you know, the one where Allan Holdsworth sold half a million copies… I’m just sorry I’ll be too old to take part in what I was always waiting for to begin with…
